Hugo Lloris has dropped ANOTHER hint that he wants to replace David De Gea at Manchester United.

There were reports in Spain this week that De Gea has already told United he wants to sign for Real Madrid this summer.

Lloris and Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech have been linked with moves to Old Trafford to replace the 24-year-old.

Tottenham keeper Lloris suggested this week he was ‘watching’ developments at United.

He has reiterated his stance that he wants to play Champions League football.

And the 28-year-old has hinted he will look to move to a club playing in the competition next season - which Tottenham are not - to make sure he’s ready for the European Championship next summer.

Lloris said: “Dialogue and choices are important but the most important thing is to have the ability to play lots of matches in order to put in the best performance possible and continue to be selected for the national team.

“I assume that the choices come naturally, so I’m staying calm and seeing how things develop.

“This is what everyone wants, and not just because it is the season of the European Championships. It is a goal and a personal ambition.

“The Champions League remains an important competition, the highest level in Europe, so obviously I want to participate and rub shoulders with the biggest European teams.

“I work towards that every day.”
